If you are using the latest bbPress Plugin version 2.1x, if so your members/users should see these on their profile page http://example.com/forums/users/username

[Stephen Edgar]

I started to write some doc’s but like you got confused pretty quickly with all the different info available. Did you see the 2.1 install info here?

I’ll do some testing and and fix up the docs, once completed it should be available here:

WordPress Version 3.4.1

bbPress Plugin Version 2.1.2

Theme is a customized version of PHP-Ease, which uses Blueprint for layout.

See: http://www.php-ease.com/wordpress/themes/framework.html

The forums page (linked to above) looks fine, but if you click through to those forums or to individual posts, you’ll see that the header changes. Also, the right sidebar is all degraded. The forums themselves take up the whole width of the browser window. The sidebar stuff appears below.

I’ve played with float attributes some, but all those do is alter the width of the table containing the forum materials. The sidebar stuff remains below.

This was not a problem until bbPress 2.1 appeared.

I have a feeling I need to merge style sheets or tell bbPress to use my own stylesheet, but I’m at a loss as to how to do these things. Any help you can provide would be appreciated.

By the way: overall, great product. I’m a fan.

Thanks,

Marty Priola

What theme does bbpress.org use? is it available for download?

I have a few questions on the way bbpress is looking with my theme, hopefully someone can help.

the first thing is that i want to stop it from listing the topics underneath the category before you actually go into that category. You can see on the main forum page it has 3 categories (your orders, window film, and website) and underneath each one it is listing the forums in that category. any way to make this go away?

second thing is that if you create a topic and using the fancy editor on “visual” you cannot see what you are typing because it has assumed the same color background as my theme with the text remaining black. if you use the editor on “html” then it goes white and you can now see the text. UPDATE: I disabled the fancy editor because of this problem and now when I try to re enable it, it does not work. I have disable any caching plugins and cleared my browsers cache and it is not showing the fancy editor any more.

The easiest thing I suppose i need to do is change the text color in the bbpress forum only to black. Currently it is like a grey color making it difficult to see on the white forum background.

I would appreciate any help and thank you in advance.

I have a website at http://rockwareit.net. I am using CheerApp, which was built to utilize the bbpress forum structure. Everything was fine, until I updated to bbpress, v 2.0, I think – not exactly sure, but it was the update before this last one. Now, with the new version activated, I get a fatal error:

Fatal error: Call to undefined function royal_login() in /home/content/31/8787131/html/wp-content/themes/cheerapp/header.php on line 69

I have attempted to remove/edit problematic code on line 69, to no avail.

I also can not seem to find a proper older version of bbpress, all the links to older versions are broken….can someone please help either with a fix to the issue, or an older version of bbpress?

Thanks!

2.x does. If you have bbPress installed go to /wp-admin/tools.php?page=bbp-converter.

[Jeff Hester]

This page describing the bbPress core implies that there are notes on how to import from vBulletin, stating:

> Import Forums
>
> Published on July 3rd, 2012 by netweb Supported Platforms bbPress v1.x
> phpBB v.3.x (For Invision or vBulletin see notes below.)

But there are no “notes below” that reference vBulletin. Does bbPress support vBulletin import?

[George Mamadashvili]

To force bbPress use your template you should name them properly, check bbPress compatible Twenty Ten included in plugin, e.g. archive-forum.php is responsible for forum list/archive.

[davidkooo]

So I changed default page.php to be fullwidth, but I would like to know hot to force bbpress to use certain wp page template.

Also I am really disappointed there is no separator for forums, like it is in phpbb… I would like to split my forums to groups (movies, series, games…) I dont think it would be so hard to include this option in one of next updates.

Thanks.

How do I recreate that in BBpress 2? My members want to see the posts they started, but can’t without a section like this.

Hello.

My forum was fine translated to Danish before updating to the latest version of bbPress, 2.1.2. But now I cannot seem to figure out how to do the translation? Do I have to put the .po file elsewhere?

What is exactly the procedure for uploading and changing the language of bbPress? Different topics say different things.

Found the .po file here: http://translate.wordpress.org/projects/bbpress/plugin/da/default

[Starejosel]

There is an old and unsupported plugin: BP Unread Posts

Any chance that anyone would update it and make it compatible with BBpress?

Thanks!
Martin

[Starejosel]

Just upgraded to 2.1.2 and it works perfectly! Thanks for all your work!

Hi John. I would love to be involved more in 2.2 milestone (and other releases too). Do we have weekly dev chats as core team do? That would be great starting point for me, so we can discuss tickets, possible improvements, etc.

I guess best time for this would after WordCamp SF.

[John James Jacoby]

Thinking long-term, I’d like for there to be a ‘Use bbPress topics for comments’ option also, and that plugin is doing something along those lines. Thanks for sharing your site, and happy that it’s working out for you so far.

[oddcopter]

I linked my forum http://oddcopter.com/forums/

to my blog http://oddcopter.com/

using the Topics for Posts plugin http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/bbpress-post-topics/

Now, all my comments end up as replies in a forum topic associated with the blog post they were made in and vice versa. Nice way to get a forum started. Nobody likes to party in an empty room. I had to delete a lot of freshness and voices data because it didn’t look right after my conversion.

Anyway, thanks to for all your hard work John and Company!

Most likely directly in a custom theme’s template file, where ever it’s appropriate.

/bbpress/loop-single-reply.php

maybe?

[John James Jacoby]

BuddyPress is pretty much your best option right now. Though it’s setup and theme’ing is not currently as elegant as bbPress is.

[John James Jacoby]

A few things. First, this won’t work in bbPress 2. It’s already done for you, and the function names are different. Also, it’s a bad idea to trust any global value to be output directly to the screen, as any plugin can manipulate them directly. You’ll want to wrap that output in an esc_url() call. Lastly, this post is almost 4 years old; bumping it with a simple ‘thanks’ type reeks of being spam.

Closing this so it doesn’t get bumped again, and anyone that finds this should take heed using that code in bbPress or WordPress going forward, as there are more elegant solutions.

[Good in Today]

Thank you, John. I swapped those and it returned nothing. But when I added an echo to actually display the value it works as I wished for it too, so thank you for your help! 🙂

[Tharindu]

bbpress topics and replies are displaying on recent (blog) posts widget. I would like to list only blog posts on it. And yes it came with my theme. I really want to keep it.

However, I found a way around. I had to create a new category and move all my main categories under it. And then filter recent posts widget to display only posts from new category. I fixed my problem.

But I got the feeling that it’s not the right way to do it.

Hello Mr bbpress, are you working at it?
